What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

local Tesco is going through some reconstruction in January so they are fire selling everything inc Lego for 50% off, someone posted a photo in our Lego FB group so I rushed in but every exclusive was gone (they had Porsche, TB, BigBen, Par. Restaurant, Detect Office or Bucketwheel of what I remember), so I grabbed last VW Beetle and some friends Grand Hotels, minecraft Fortresses, ninjago Dragon's Forges and bunch of Louvres and Buckinghams

None are bad if you like building and collecting. I personally only buy clearance at 75% or above because I mostly deal in quick flips/ retail arbitrage. Buying in at 40% or 50% as a reseller means accepting lower resale margin or waiting a bit longer. But really, it’s all subject to where you can sell and also your costs beyond buy in (e.g. gas and your time). I think you’ve started off well!

Who wants to play laugh at the newbie? This is my entire LEGO haul from post-Xmas clearance, mostly at target but the lodge was from Amazon and the Kylo Ren was from TRU. Thoughts? Great buys? Things I should dump? Just dipping my toes in the investment waters...
 

Looks ok, now you just need 100 of each.

Went to Target last night and found an Assembly Square on the clearance shelf.  The box which is really in good condition, has a sticker marked as a repackage and priced $196.01.  It's kind of unusual, but not unheard of.  What was more amazing was the other 3 Assembly Squares, 5 Assault on Hoth (75098), 7 Big Ben (10253), a few Snowspeeders (75144), a Technic Porsche 911 (42056), a Kwik-E-Mart, a couple of other large technic sets, and about 20 Silent Mary's (71042) on the shelves in the store.  I was stunned, and amazed.  And yes, I did take the "repackaged" Assembly Square.

Nice table.. I have something similar in my spreadhseet.. although I totally dont care about the "discount" and PPB (whats the use of that??) .. in longer term it will just make you a headache if you calculate these fields manually .. I keep iny my table set number, set name, piece count, RRP in USD, RRP in local currency (if I want to sell it later on local market).. actual purchase price and then the latest stats on Brickpicker US, Brickpicker UK, Brickpicker EU.. and the last column is weight of the set in grams.
